How do I clear the 'recently added' playlist?

It isn't set up that way. It is a smart playlist (right click on it to see details) which uses the "date added is last two weeks" command. You would have to change the date added on the tracks it contains to be older than two weeks, or do some other modification to the smart playlist such as only have it display items that had not been played at all. I don't know if there is an easy way to do that unless it is in Dougscripts.

I deleted the recently added playlist in iTunes...how do i get it back?

i've searched for answers but they were all for windows. does anybody know how to get the recently added playlist back on a MacBook Pro?

The "recently added" playlist can simply be recreated by using a smart playlist with the following criteria: "Date added is after". You pick the time frame, for instance the past month, past 2 weeks, etc.

How do I create a 'Recently added' playlist on the ipod that only adds the new songs that I add to my library?, How do I create a 'Recently added' playlist on the ipod that only adds the new songs that I add to my library?

I'm trying to recreate the 'Recently Added' playlist that featured in the old ipods (4th gen.?) where it stored the songs you've just added to the ipod and each time you plugged it in it would replace the songs in that list with the new ones you've just added. The 'Smart playlist' at the moment doesn't replace existing songs with new ones except by manual overide. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Best suggestion: Buy some external USB or Firewire drives. Move your Library to one, back it up to another. A lot more reliable than DVD, a lot less work and much more convenient. For a start, you don't have to break up the library...

How do I extend the lifetime of the Recently Added playlist?

When songs are downloaded into iTunes they appear in the "Recently Added" playlist for a while. After an unknown (by me at least) period of time, they disappear. Can I adjust the period of time, say to three, six, nine or twelve months, whare the songs would still appear in the "Recently Added" playlist?

Control-click the playlist, choose Edit Playlist, and change the Date Added cutoff.

I accidently erased the recently added playlist

I accidently erased the recently added playlist from my itunes how do I get it back on there so I know what was just adde because I have like over 3000 songs on there and dont know whats new

All you need to do is create a new Smart Playlist (File>New Smartplaylist). Make the criteria Date add is in the last: and then pick a time frame that makes sense for you. If you add music often, you might want it to be in the last week, for example. Then make sure that Live Updating is checked.
Once you hit ok, the name of the playlist will be highlighted in the source pane. It will be called "untitled playlist". Change it to Recently Added (or whatever you want).
Welcome to the world of smart playlists!

I wanted to clear my Recently Added playlist and I accidently deleted it.

I wanted to clear my Recently Added playlist that was a premade playlist and I deleted it. Now when I add songs to iTunes, the songs just go straight onto another playlist and I can never find them right away. I was wondering if there was any way I could get the Recently Added playlist added back onto my playlists as a pre-set playlist so that when I add new songs, they go straight to the Recently Added playlist.

The default playlists are just Smart Playlists and you can recreate them. In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist
Recently Added:
Match the rule "Date Added">"is in the last">"1">"Days" make the days and the interval to suit yourself, you can have days, weeks or months.
Check the box "Live Updating"

How do I delete the recently added songs "List is getting to large

I am unable to find ,how to delete the "RECENTLY Added" songs after having moved them to the various ctegories I selected

The Recently Added playlists in iTunes is a Smart Playlist. So in order to remove songs from this list you need to either wait until the song is no longer qualified to be listed in the Smart Playlist (more on that in a minute) or you need to adjust the rules out the Smart Playlist accordingly.
Either way though, this playlist hardly takes up any available hard drive space as it is just a list of pointers to your actual song files and not duplicate entries or anything of the sort that would be eating up significant amounts of drive space.
If you'd like, you can edit the rules out this Smart Playlist in iTunes to contain a smaller set of tracks or change the Date Added rule to only keep songs from a smaller time frame to help reduce the size of this playlist. To do this, right->click on the Recently Added playlist and select Edit Smart Playlist. A new window show pop up.
In this window, you can the Date Added rule so that it contains tracks that were added in the past X (X being a number of your choice) number of days, weeks, or months. You can also enable the Limit to X (X again being a number of your choice) rule to contain a smaller or larger number of items, GBs, MBs, hours, or minutes. To enable it, simply place a tick mark next to the rule.
When you are finished editing the playlist, click the OK button. If you did make any changes, the list should update dynamically immediately and will continue to do so as time goes on.

i just bought and downloaded an album. the album/tracks are NOT found in my music library alongside every other track i have purchased! however, they are found and playable in the recently added playlist. in addition, when using the search queue in the upper right corner, the artist and album is listed when searched for, but when clicked on, nothung happens. i have downloaded hundreds of tracks with no issue (not a noob), but have no idea what has occurred...plz help

Have you checked whether the songs are in your iTunes library? If they are, then just drag them to your purchased playlist. If they aren't, try checking for available downloads.
If none of the previous work, then get in contact directly with iTunes store support to tell them about your problem.

How do I clear the recently edited files in the file menu?

How do I clear the recently edited files in the file menu? (ie. cache)

I don't have PSEv.13, but in my current version, and in the two that I had before, the behavior is/was identical.
As far as I know, the only way to purge an entry in the list of recently edited files via the File menu, is to delete the picture file or send it to the recycle bin.
Perhaps someone will come along with additional information.
"The File option dose not have an option for FILE-MORE-PURGE CACHE. as Adobe suggested."
Where is this referenced suggestion?? On-line? In a book or manual?

How do I clear the "recent" user account pictures in Mountain Lion?

How do I clear the "recent" user account pictures in Mountain Lion? A friend posted a stupid photo as one of the pictures as a joke and I cant figure out how to remove it from the recent pictures.
Thanks

To completely remove the files, from the desktop click Go>Go to Folder and type
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ImageKit.RecentPictureService/Data/Library/Images /Recent Pictures/
Then move the files you don't want to trash.
Make sure to empty trash and restart before viewing your recents again, or they will reappear.

How can I clear the recent document list on the welcome page?

Have some confidential docs that I don't want to appear when the program is launched. How can I clear the recent document list on the welcome page and the "open recent" list? thx

It's not an option in the prefs. It's a hidden file that makes up part of the preference set (as far as I know, most, or all of the seetings you can adjust inside ID's prefences dialog are actually saved in the other half of the set, InDesign Defaults). For more information, see Replace Your Preferences
